Public transport is the most convenient way to reach Alpbach. We recommend you to plan and book your journey with our mobility partner ÖBB, the Austrian Federal Railways: Together with our partner we expand the regional transport in the Alpbach area which makes travelling to Alpbach easy and quick.

Getting there: Wörgl in Tyrol, Austria, is the best train destination for further travel to Alpbach. You can also reach Alpbach from Jenbach in Tyrol. There are two options to reach Alpbach from these train stations:

1. Take the shuttle bus line 1 or 2 from Wörgl or Jenbach train station to Alpbach.
2. Take the regional train from Wörgl or Jenbach to Brixlegg. From there, bus line 4074 or one of our shuttle bus lines 1 or 2 will bring you to Alpbach.
   

At all train stations, you will find the bus stop for all lines in the direction to Alpbach in front of the station. For the Congress Centrum Alpbach, get off at the bus stop “Alpbach Böglerhof/CCA”. Traveling with the regional bus lines is free of charge with your EFA ticket and/or confirmation of your accommodation reservation.

Registration entitles you to a 22% discount on the ÖBB standard fare, to 10% off the international standard-fare and to a special price on the ÖBB Night Jet.

The Inn valley motorway (A12) takes you to Alpbach: exit the motorway at Kramsach/Alpbachtal. From there it is 9 km via Brixlegg to the village centre of Alpbach. As there are no parking facilities at the Congress Centrum Alpbach, we recommend using the car park at the entrance of the village (just before the Supermarket “SPAR”) or at best leave your car at the accommodation.

For electric cars, there are filling stations in the village centre (opposite to Böglerhof) and at the fire station (opposite Spar supermarket). More filling stations for electric cars: Electromobility in the Alpbachtal I Tyrol

No action is taken without the consent of the affected person!

Persons whose native language is not German can communicate in English. The responsibility for harassment and assault always lies with the harasser, and the authority to interpret harassment lies with those affected. The perspective of those affected is considered sensitively and respectfully, and complaints and wishes are taken seriously.

Every case is handled, regardless of whether it is ongoing or from the past, as a case is never closed for the affected individuals. The Ombudsteam operates with absolute confidentiality in a protected environment, calmly and clearly, in compliance with GDPR, task-oriented according to the needs of the affected individuals, impartial in the interest of the reporting and affected person, independent and non-corporate, as well as networked and cooperative.

When a concern is raised, people should identify themselves in order to facilitate communication; however, they can also remain anonymous. The ombudsteam guarantees the protection of identity from third parties. After a report is made, we discuss what has happened. A face-to-face meeting can be arranged if the initial contact was made by telephone or via a signal. The person concerned is given an initial assessment of the case and the available options for action are outlined. A joint decision is made on how to proceed and other people are involved if necessary and desired.
